How Incredibly Stupid!
One does not have to be a particularly clever terrorist to outwit the crazies of the Bush administration. Presumably bent on electing Republicans in November, Bush is currently out vacationing in Crawford -- again in a time of real crisis -- thus holding up Condi from traveling to the Middle East where someone will eventually wake up to the fact that a deadly stalemate has been created between Israel and Hezbollah -- with the former looking like Goliath and the latter, David -- and you know how that one turned out! Ouch!
Can one believe the lead article in the NY Times?
U.S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis
By DAVID S. CLOUD and HELENE COOPER
The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of
precision-guided bombs to Israel, which some military
officers see as a sign of a longer campaign ahead.

And we are whacking away at Iran for supplying missiles to Hezbollah? Yup. We are the 'good' guys and they are "evil" for doing exactly the same thing we are -- supplying arms to combatants rather than calming things down?
Let's face up here. Had Bush spent a little less time vacationing in Crawford at critical moments and more working towards peace in the Middle East rather than letting the crazies persuade him to play frat boy executive officer to Cheney's and Rumsfeld's CEO, Commanding Officer, or however you want to characterize the string pullers for our puppet president . . . .
The tragic thing here is the loss of lives that these "crazies" (Bush I team's label for the neocons) have engendered. I for one am deeply embarrassed to be an American led by such fools.
The Times has another article that sums it all up:
Across the Middle East, Sermons Critical of the U.S.
By NEIL MacFARQUHAR
At Friday Prayers, sermons underscored the
David-versus-Goliath glamour many Arabs associate with
Hezbollah.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/22/world/middleeast/22arabs.html?th&emc=th
Final Score: Hezbollah - 1; Bush - 0
Our only hope is that the Shia Hezbollah guys are reputed to hate the Sunni Al Qaedas and vice versa. Let's hope they have some stupids on their team, too. Then, perhaps, we can take on a mediating role?
